The Most Classic Restaurants In NYC

"At Defonte’s, a cash-only Italian sandwich shop in Red Hook, it’s not just about the big fat italian sandwiches. It’s also about standing in line next to someone who drives in from Jersey weekly to feast on the Nicky’s Special, and about taking your sandwiches down to Valentino Pier to eat by the water. Order anything with a layer of their fried eggplant on it. Since that’s most sandwiches here, the Prosciutto Special—fried eggplant, fresh mozzarella, roasted red peppers, and a half-inch thick layer of meat—is a good place to start. Nicky’s Special, Golden Boy, Roast Pork Special (add hot salad)" - molly fitzpatrick, willa moore, will hartman, bryan kim, sonal shah
